Hobby Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Going back to the OP, you can model much of the narrow gauge stock in HO scale, using Liliput or the many brass kits that are around for the diesels and modern coaches. there's a fair bit available in TT scale as well, which seems to be still quite big over there if my visits are anything to go by. I have a couple or so threads going about Narrow Gauge, both prototype and model (HOe and TTe)... Marian, I have PM'd you as I need some help!

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yes there are plenty of TT scale items available. ready built resin and brass chassis were very common a few years ago. I did think that it would go into decline with so much more HO items becoming available but the manufacturers have also brought out many ready to run TT scale Czech specific locos and coaches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 There are some really good detailing bits (signs, etc.) available in HO and TT scale which I used on my HOe layout. The Czech Model Railway Cottage Industry is alive and well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have used an umber of the detailing parts on the TT stock. I have some packs of etched details to add wing mirrors and handrails to my fleet of class 810 4 wheel railcars and even modified the stock boxes so that these mirrors don't get knocked off. when stored. I Just need to get round to working out which ones had wing mirrors and then time to fit them. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yes, there's a lot of loco bits, I was thinking more about these, which they sell in HO and TT: http://www.eshop-rychle.cz/es-pecky/eshop/1-1-Es-Pecky/2-2-Es-TT-dop-ky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD 151 (E499.2) is now out, all thought I am fan of the A.C. 25000V system in real and this loco is DC 3000V I like it better than the dual system 350. I would buy the 350 if a pre-reconstruction model was made in Blue/Ivory with yellow stripe (I really like the narrow yellow stripes at the front) and here the 350 in livery I want, if ACME makes this I buy even if I have mostly diesels left old PIKO (1980 +-) right rebiult of PIKO by Igor Sevcik (IS Model, same whom makes the expensive T679.0) (edit: Please note that the old piko model has been remotorised with piko 180 DR, same for the pantographs, IS model is most likely on roco chassis and has hand built pantographs) Edited January 24, 2014 by mastanec 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2014 They are nice. I think that I saw the blue Albatros in Praha Hlvani the first time we visited back in 2004 on a special train. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

petertg Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I spent a fortnight in the Czech Republic with my wife and freinds a couple of years ago. We had a house about 30 kms from Prague and, although we had hired a car, to visit Prague we always caught the train, from Bojov, on the Praha hlavni nadrazi-Dobris line, travelling in DMUs. On one trip the driver and ticket collector got off the train while waiting at one of the passing stations to have a beer. Below are photos of the Bojov halt and of one of the vehicles we travelled in. As far as beer goes, we were recommended Urquell by the local house owner and found it good. We also found a very good local red wine. As far as modelling is concerned, I was unable to locate a model shop in Prague. I was interested to see the double deck commuter trains they have there but couldn't locate any model on the internet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2014 Try Pragomodels or Ben Zerba online. http://www.ben-zerba.cz/e-shop/en/ http://www.pragomodel.cz/ I think that the double deck City Elefants are not not yet available but I I have seen the older single deck Emus but they are not cheap.

Hobby Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 There's four in the centre, one at the back of a shopping centre, one down near the river (best for books), one near King Charles Bridge and the one that is best for second hand in one of the streets behind the main station. I'd also reccomend a visit to Pecky for the one there (an hour by train from the centre). If anyone wants details I can post them after a little research for addresses. I also have details for ones in Ostrava and Brno... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2014 The one at the rear of the shopping centre has closed a couple of years ago when we tried to visit it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ah, ok, it would be about three years ago i last went to it, am there again in September so will check out what has happened! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbishop Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Guys, I'm spending three nights in Prague in August. Roundhouse has pointed me in the direction of the model shops (and the brew houses). I'm willing to bring back small consumables, such as paint. Handover could be at Eurotrack in September, the European Railway Association show in December or St Albans in January.

Hobby Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks, Bill, but I'm over with another 009 society member in late August, we are doing a tour of the 760mm lines! So will be collecting our own collection of stuff, we're just having hand luggage so will have to be careful. I've never needed to but I suppose if I got carried away i could always post it to my home address in the UK!! I'll be at the ERA show with the TTe layout, btw!!

Hobby Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 By train with the odd bus thrown in, Ian. The plan is to fly over on the Friday morning to Prague, take the train to Ostrava (perhaps stopping at Pecky for the shop!) and book into the hotel and check out the two shops in Ostrava before having dinner at a decent restaurant/pub I know... Spend the next two days on the line in the north, they are running U57.001, the Skoda 0-10-0 tender loco both days. Travel down to the JHMD via Brno and spend two days travelling on it and taking photos. Train back to Prague and visit the museums and model shops in Prague and possibly visit the preserved 760mm sugar beet line at Kolin on the Saturday (to be confirmed). Fly back Sunday... Can't wait!

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted June 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2014 Does sound like one of our action packed trips but with the added bonus of the steam. I know of the model shop at Ostrava Hlvani. However their website seems ot have dissapeared so heres hoping that they are still there. Ostrava will have changed a lot in the last few years as they were building ah uge develpoment on the old steelworks site next to Ostrava Stred and the town centre. I still need to visit theat narrow gauge at Kolin. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
